Leak Detection in Collin County, TX
A pool can make or break the summer season but a swimming pool leak can cause serious and widespread damage across a property. Pools are built to last but they are still subject to physical damage, corrosion and other issues. If you are noticing that your water systems are off or water levels are low don’t hesitate to call a local Puddle technician for Collin County pool leak detection service.
There may be more than one reason that your pool is losing water. At the height of summer high temperatures cause natural evaporation. At the same time, a high number of swimmers means a high volume of pool water is being splashed or carried out. Diagnosing water loss in a swimming pool can be a complicated process but Puddle has got it down to a science!
Leak Detection in Pools: What to Watch Out For
As a pool owner you probably have a good idea of how your water system operates and what to expect. If swimming pools start to act up, it’s important to take note of exactly what they are doing because it might be signalling a leak!
The most common signs of a swimming pool leak include:
- Consistently low water levels
- Inability to balance water chemistry
- Higher than average utility bills
- Unexplained puddles forming in the surrounding pool area
During the spring and summer season when pools are in high use it’s normal to see between 3-5 inches of water loss over the course of a week. If you notice more than that it’s a good idea to contact an expert. If you’re having a hard time measuring the water level in your swimming pool you can always try a traditional bucket test.
A bucket test involves placing a bucket full of water next to the swimming pool and marking the water level in each. After a couple days the water level should have dropped at the same rate. If there is significant drop in the water level of the pool but not in the bucket, you’re likely dealing with a leak. Once a pool leak is identified it’s time to diagnose the type of leak that you’re dealing with and isolate the problem areas.
Puddle Pool Services: Reliable Swimming Pool Leak Detection in Collin County
Pool leaks can more or less be divided into two categories: structural leaks and plumbing leaks. Each of these have their own distinct obstacles and a specific type of testing that can help to pinpoint problem areas.
Structural Leaks: Pool structures are susceptible to physical damage in a big way. Erosion can impact walls leading to slab cracks while a storm can result in broken or missing tiles, as well as tears to vinyl liners. Each of these can result in serious water loss and damage surrounding areas. Puddle technicians use dye tests to pinpoint problem areas and alert pool owners to leaks.
Plumbing Leaks: When dealing with inground pools the majority of plumbing and pool equipment are underground. This makes it incredibly difficult to spot corrosion or physical damage visually. Puddle technicians use pressure tests to identify the presence of a leak. This process involves applying a stream of pressurized air to pool plumbing lines. If/when the air makes contact with a crack or damage it will create air bubbles that are visible in return lines.
Throughout Collin County pool leak detection and repair go hand-in-hand. Puddle technicians can identify the type of pool leak that you are dealing with, isolate problem areas and provide referrals to local repair experts to stop that water loss in its tracks!
Puddle technicians keep customers informed about every step of your pool leak detection service. With options to book online or by phone 24 hours a day there’s never a bad time to schedule pool leak detection services with Puddle.
Collin County Leak Detection: Frequently Asked Questions
Is leak detection invasive? Will you need to dig up my yard?
Detection itself is non invasive. Pressure and dye testing are done from the pool and the equipment, without digging. Excavation only comes into the conversation if a leak is confirmed in an underground line, and then the testing tells us where to open up rather than searching blindly.
What happens if you find a leak?
We show you where it is and explain the repair options. Many leaks at fittings, skimmers, lights or small cracks can be repaired directly. Larger structural or underground plumbing repairs are quoted separately so you can decide with the full picture.
Why does a small leak matter?
A pool holds a large volume of water, so a small leak adds up quickly. Beyond the water bill, a leak makes chemistry impossible to hold because treated water keeps escaping, it strains the pump and circulation system and water escaping into the ground can damage landscaping and, over time, the surrounding structure.
Can you test the plumbing lines as well as the pool shell?
Yes. Pressure testing checks the plumbing lines individually, which is how we tell a plumbing leak from a leak in the shell or liner. It is worth testing all the lines even when the leak seems obvious, because a second leak is easy to miss.
Should I keep the pool running while I wait for a leak test?
Keep the water level above the skimmer so the pump does not run dry, and note how much water you add and when. That record helps the test. If the level is dropping quickly, tell us when you book so the visit can be prioritized.
Marla and her crew have been totally professional and courteous as if I had known them forever. They do excellent work and do what they say there're going to do. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing a regular pool service. Great people.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brad consistently provides excellent pool service. He is professional, friendly, and communicates clearly about the condition of our pool and any needed maintenance.

Puddle Pool Service had done an incredible job maintaining and caring for our Doctor Wellness G7 Spa. Their timely service and attention to detail was incredible. The ownership (Marla) worked with me and her technician Brad was second to none. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking care for their spa or pool. Respectfully submitted by Tony Marino a new resident of Texas and I'm glad Puddle Pool was there for me.
Brad did a wonderful job answering my questions about my pool and equipment, the service he provides each week, and what I need to be doing on the days he's not here. My pool and spa look fantastic after each and every visit. I would most definitely recommend Brad and Puddle Pool Services of McKinney/Prosper to anyone.
Brad with Puddle Pool Service was absolutely amazing. From one day to the next, my hot tub was back up and running. He was very knowledgeable and great to talk to. It's rare to find someone that can perform a hot tub only service so I am glad I found them to help me with this.
